The School and VINCI renew their collaboration agreement

On Monday April 28, 2025, the collaboration between the École nationale des ponts et chaussées and VINCI was renewed: the framework agreement was signed by Anthony Briant, Director of the École, and Pierre Anjolras, Chief Operating Officer of VINCI.

The School and VINCI share strong ties, with nearly 200 alumni, a large number of interns and a joint laboratory, the Lab recherche environnement, the flagship partnership that has supported research cooperation since 2008.

To formalize and strengthen these ties, particularly in response to the challenges of decarbonization, environmental imperatives and the need for innovation, an initial framework agreement was signed in December 2023. The renewal of this partnership is fully in line with the School's strategy of strengthening its ties with its long-standing partner and the joint actions put in place to meet the challenges of the ecological transition:
-Contributing to training, teaching and entrepreneurial careers, enabling joint skills development on emerging scientific and technical issues.
-Support for professional integration, for example through female mentoring.
-Strengthening scientific cooperation in the fields of low-carbon construction, intelligent infrastructure, urban resilience and artificial intelligence applied to construction sites and infrastructure operations.
-Organization of "Décider Maintenant" conferences to stimulate public debate on issues such as mobility, infrastructure, reindustrialization and the development of public spaces...
